Nah, expect bard to win it, calm before the storm is in the map pool.

Also, I'm not top 3 or even top 4? Guess I still have something to prove ;(

Good luck all people in the finals (Hi Spook)

Cam to win pretty comfortably but i think the finals will be against either Bard or Satu. Not sure who i give the upper hand too there but probably Satu

[ToRSpookToR]

bard has been playing d3 for ages so mby he is broken haha ZvZ is well ZvZ anything can happen bigbird is looking very strong atm i wouldn't be surprised if you got into the finals even notorious (although he keeps dodging me so he cant be that good)

Quick Comments

x5.NotoriouS:

haha, come at me bro

[x5_Bard]

The bracket should be

A 1- Edge Vs 8- Bigbird
B 4- Satu Vs 5- Seekrepreive
C 3- Raithen Vs 6- Reere
D 2- Bard Vs 7- Notorious

I might have to stop playing D3!

Still trying to see if double elim is feasible within a night - would be tight. Regardless this is what the first round would look like indeed!

We want to try make double elim work because it makes for better competition we just have a concern for the time requirements.

If all players are willing to play into the night - potentially past midnight - we can make it happen.

It would be Bo3s all night with a 2x set for GFs unless someone can provide a better alternative.

EDIT: Seems not everybody is up for a double elim.

gogog SA terrans!!.. :O

Cam's got this.. glglgl

[x5_Bard]

No double elim please, I don't want to be trying to play competitively at 1am

[x5_Bard]

If your planning to cast each set adding a lower bracket will take way too long

[x5.Phoenix]

Losers bracket wouldn't need to hang around for casting though so it wouldn't take that long realistically? Maybe best of 1 in losers bracket.. Just a thought!

[Baldie]

"Rounds" would be played simultaneously and 1 set casted

1 set from Ro8
1 set from Win Semis or Los Semis whichever seems will be closest set (all playing simultaneously)
Win Finals set (while second Los Semis plays)
First Los Finals set
Second Los Finals set
Grand Finals (2x set format)

It would be a long night regardless and given it is a Thursday I appreciate people not wanting a 6 hour event.

EDIT: This is all based on Bo3s for each set.

Any reason Thursday is the day of choice? Not sure if I missed something

June is a ridiculously stacked month for events. ACL Adelaide, Gigabyte eSports Winter Qualifier 3, and the nRv Invitational is that weekend. The weekend before are ACL Melbourne Regionals and before that is too soon being this weekend. Any further than the 14th and we feel it is dragged out too long.

Thursday gives SA players enough time to train/practice/prepare for ACL Adelaide and also ensures we aren't competing with any other events for a viewer base.

[x5.Phoenix]

Thanks for the prompt response, I guess that settles it then! Good luck to all

[Baldie]

With single elim confirmed (in future we will be hosting offline finals which can become day events with double elim etc) the only thing left unconfirmed is the best ofs.

As it currently stands the format is

Bo3 Round of 8 (1 set casted - voted on before night) 6-7pm
Bo3 First Semi Final (casted) 7-8pm
Bo3 Second Semi Final (casted) 8-9pm
Bo5 Grand Final (casted) 9-10.30pm

Note it will likely be quicker than timings provided.

The reason to stagnate Semis is to ensure as much content is casted however we appreciate an hour between playing and the overall format may not be welcomed.

Are people happy with this or would they prefer both Semis played simultaneously bumping it up to a Bo5 with a Bo5/7 Grand Finals?

[x5_Bard]

Current method is fine, allows time for players to take a break too

[BAD.BiGbiRd]

Well there goes my chance of making it anywhere in the brackets lol

Cam i'm coming down that weekend so you can buy the carton

Yeah it's why double elim would have been better but unfortunately due to the time requirements T_T

Alas in future we can organise an offline finals well in advance to avoid said issue!

[BAD.BiGbiRd]

All good, i assume you guys will cast Me vs Cam so even though it's only 1 match that should make it a bit more fun

[Baldie]

The people shall vote on our Facebook

EDIT: Although to be honest who wants to watch mirror matchups ew - I think you have a pretty good chance to be casted

[TAEdgE]

If it helps the betting for the winner i haven't played for a month, and haven't played d3 either so i'm just rusty with a comp in general D:
